I look forward to Christmas. I really do. I think because its the one time of the year people have an excuse to be nice to each other and giving of themselves. Why we need to have an excuse is beyond me.
Our lawn care guy is a retired guy with a beat up old pickup, and equipment that looks like he hobbled it together in his garage. Tonight he came by to collect his fee, and greeted honey "Merry Christmas"...honey went to get the checkbook, and wrote two checks and asked for a Christmas card, and quickly stuffed one of the checks inside> and then opened the door , went out the door to the porch, handing everything to our guy.
I could hear them: "Thanks for the card"
"You better look inside"
"Man, thats mighty nice of you. Better put that in my pocket before my wife sees it...she's int he truck"
Merry Christmas.
Scottish people do have some interesting customs and traditions. It is believed that if the fire goes out on Christmas Eve, the household will suffer bead luck in the coming year.
Mischievous elves climb down the chimney and cause troubles in the family. However, a raging fire can scare them away. On Christmas day, people lit big bonfires, play bagpipes and dance around the bonfire. Traditional oatmeal cakes known as Bannock are eaten on this day.
